5 Thursday, May 8, :30 Breakfast 8:30 Wei-Jun Summary of Breakouts 1 and 2 and Discussion of new directions 9:00 Brent McKee & Miguel Goni 1. Discussion of priority environments to focus research * Coastal environments around the Gulf ie., Cuba, Straits of Florida, West FL shelf, north east shelf, Mississippi/Atchafalaya River region, Louisiana/Texas shelf, East Mexico shelf, Bay of Campeche, Campeche Bank and the Yucatan channel. Which environments will be most influenced by climate change (CO 2 in systems)? *Where is there synergy with past or planned research projects? 2. Implementation and proposal planning 12:00 Adjourn 1:00-5pm Report write up session: including organizers, session chairs, reporters, and involved students 5
